Hole #1 on the West Course at Etowah kills me. It's a massively long Par 4, with OB just right and a creek just left. You have to get into it off the tee or you can't get on it two, but you're scared to b/c of the hazzards. It seems like you're always hitting into the wind, the green slopes severely back to front so anything long on the approach is death, yet there's the greenside bunkers placed just short. I hate it. I will walk off that hole with a 5 every single time and be happy, but you're typically 1 over on your round through 1 and that sucks.

What the crap? Who makes an opening hole like that? Satan?
